I had never made acorn squash before, but tried this recipe because it received such positive reviews. My husband and I both considered it too bland, and I would not make it again.

this recipe is fantastic. we make it at least once a week during the fall and fight over the biggest piece! it makes a delicious side dish with broiled salmon.

When these are in season they make the perfect side dish!! Or just make a double portion for a light dinner or lunch. I tend to just scrape the squash onto a plate after it's cooked...easier to eat. I also used fat free maple syrup and splenda brown sugar to make it healthier...soo good. :)
